I have a MySQL database that I would like to remotely access from Windows Azure which does not provide fixed IP addresses at this point. Instead of white-listing a very large IP range to cover the entire Microsoft datacenter, it would be preferable to check for the hostname instead. Indeed, if I was allowing `myuser@'foo.example.com', DNS resolution being made when establishing a new connection to MySQL then varying IP address would not be an issue anymore.
Does anyone is such a scheme is possible with MySQL?
